  • Pavin Smith RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Joins the homer party

    Smith started at first base and went 3-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Orioles.

    Smith was one of four members of the Diamondbacks that went deep in the win. His two-run shot in the fifth inning, his first homer of the season, was the first of back-to-back homers. The Diamondbacks are finally seeing a string of right-handed starters, which has given Smith starts in four consecutive games. During that stretch, the lefty hitter is 7-for-13 with three extra-base hits, three RBI and four runs scored.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Homers, swipes bag Wednesday

    Yelich went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a stolen base in a 17-2 rout of the Rockies on Wednesday.

    Yelich belted a massive 465-foot, two-run shot in the ninth inning as Milwaukee tacked seven runs onto an already insurmountable lead. It was the second straight game with a long ball for the veteran slugger, and he extended his modest hitting streak to four games. Yelich has gone 5-for-17 with five RBI over that stretch after struggling with a 2-for-24 mark and just three RBI over his first eight contests of the campaign.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Continues to pile up RBI in win

    Flores went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Reds.

    After lining an RBI single in the sixth frame, Flores tied the game at 6-6 with a solo homer off Reds right-hander Tony Santillan in the eighth inning. The veteran infielder is searching for a bounce-back campaign in 2025, and he's off to a fast start by batting .273 with five long balls, 14 RBI and seven runs scored over 44 at-bats (12 games) to open the season.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Triples in loss

    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.

    Suzuki collected half of Chicago's four hits as he continued a streak of strong performances. The outfielder now has three straight multi-hit games, and he's gone 7-for-11 overall during the hot stretch. For the season, Suzuki is now batting an even .300 to go along with a stellar .970 OPS, giving him plenty of fantasy appeal.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Mets' Jesse Winker: Sitting again versus righty

    Winker is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Marlins.

    This marks Winker's second straight absence from lineup against a right-handed pitcher. Starling Marte reached base three times and drove in two runs Tuesday and will be rewarded with another start at designated hitter in Wednesday's series finale.

  • Bryan Reynolds LF | PIT

    Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Goes deep Tuesday

    Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.

    Reynolds got the Cardinals on the board with a solo home run in the fourth. The 30-year-old now has four extra-base hits and four RBI over his last four games, though he's striking out at a 31.4 percent clip early on in the season, which is much higher than his career average.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Belts solo homer in win

    Yelich went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Colorado.

    Yelich went back-to-back with William Contreras for a solo blast in the seventh inning, giving the Brewers a 6-1 lead. It's still been a sluggish start at the dish by Yelich, who's slashing .139/.279/.306 with two long balls and six RBI through 43 plate appearances, but the star left fielder does have two stolen bases already this year.

  • Kyle Schwarber LF | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Cranks fifth homer

    Schwarber went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and drove in two additional runs in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to Atlanta.

    Schwarber was able to log a rare triple Tuesday -- his first since 2023 and 13th of his major-league career -- which drove in two runs in the third, and on his next at-bat he took Chris Sale deep for a 462-foot moonshot to center field. Schwarber has started the season slashing .324/.444/.811 with six walks, five home runs and 11 RBI across 45 plate appearances.

  • Gavin Sheets RF | SD

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Idle versus lefty

    Sheets is not in the Padres' lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Sheets will begin the game on the bench with the Athletics sending southpaw Jeffrey Springs to the mound. Yuli Gurriel will start at first base, and Luis Arraez will bat as the designated hitter Tuesday.

  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Stepping out of lineup

    McCutchen is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    McCutchen has a .988 OPS through 26 plate appearances this season but will receive a day off Tuesday. Bryan Reynolds is serving as the designated hitter while Jack Suwinski receives a start in the outfield.
